The Sandpiper

Year-round cottage on a wooded lot near Nauset Beach. Designed as a getaway that feels like it's been there for decades. Board-and-batten exterior with a metal roof, a stone chimney, and a covered farmer's porch.

Inside: wide-plank pine floors, a wood-burning fireplace, shiplap walls in the primary bedroom, and a compact but fully equipped kitchen with butcher block counters.

The design draws from traditional Cape Cod fishing shacks — simple forms, honest materials, and a deep connection to the surrounding landscape. The lot's mature oak canopy was preserved entirely, with the home's footprint carefully positioned between root zones.
